Hi,
thx @bportlock

and thx to all even i will try other method too.

it was perfect anwer what i wanted.
But actually i would not have actual name of the xml tag similar to application->clients.
Actually its converted to xml from numerative array and later it has to be again converted to array.
So, how to get tag name which is been developed from such type of array.
' <application><clients>........ </clients></application>'. was the actual example of it.
